When Ashton returned, his advancements to please Ethan were even more obvious.No matter what Ethan said, a smile would remain on Ashton's face. It was as if Ashton's temper had disappeared."Lynch, we've already used up the batch you made today. Could you make some more?"Ethan leaned back on his chair. "I'm too tired. I'm also in a bad mood, so I don't feel like moving."Ashton asked with embarrassment, "How can I lift your mood? Just tell me. I'll do anything within my capabilities. I'll even give you the stars if I can."Ashton slapped his chest with confidence. Then, he tried to persuade Ethan."Lynch, you choose to work with me to earn money. We should quickly introduce such a brilliant product to the market."You can make a few samples for me to look for buyers. A one-day delay means earning less. We are both businessmen. We cannot incur any losses."Ethan folded his hands against his chest. He did not seem to be in a rush. "I showed you my capabilities. Shouldn't you sh
Victoria rested in the room for a while. In the evening, she left the room with Ethan.When she reached downstairs, someone came up to her.It was a young adult who looked around 17 to 18 years old."Mr and Mrs. Lynch, where are you two going?"Ethan smiled insincerely, and his voice sounded slightly dangerous. "Why? Did Ashton ask you to follow us?"The young man shook his head and explained himself. "Ashton said Mrs. Lynch had injured her leg. He assumed it would be hard for her to move around."He also said it would be tiring for you to carry her around. So, Ashton asked me to stay here. Do you need a wheelchair?"It'll be perfect to head over to Nazia Hill now. You'll be able to see the beautiful sunset. I'm quite familiar with the place here. I can show you two around."Victoria pinched Ethan's waist. Because of the pain, Ethan put Victoria down."You can bring the wheelchair over. There will be no need for anything else."The young man quickly brought a wheelchair over
Victoria was also low in spirits.She quietly took out her phone, wanting to call Benjamin.She wanted to tell him about everything that had happened. She wished to listen to his voice. In the end, she held it in and merely sent him a message."I'm not at Ashton's factory. Tomorrow, Silas will search Maplewood Village. I'm fine. Don't worry about me."At around 8:00 pm, Freddie came over again."Mr and Mrs. Lynch, do you two want dinner? What do you want to eat?"Ethan was slightly annoyed. "Fuck off. Don't bother me!"Freddie quickly reported it to Ashton.Ashton's first thought was that Ethan and Victoria fought. He did not give it much thought.But he still asked his men to send some food to Ethan's room.Victoria and Ethan had just taken a bite out of their meal when they heard a noise from outside their room.They met each other's gaze and put down their cutlery. They quickly ran out of their room.In the five-story employee's hostel, the ground floor was filled with p
The woman had her back to Victoria. It was dark outside. Victoria could only see her side profile and the wrinkles on her face.Victoria looked around and noticed there was no one around her.Victoria remembered how odd the woman had acted around Ethan. She decided to use this opportunity to investigate the truth.Victoria took two steps forward, but Sharon had already sensed her presence.Sharon turned around. When she saw Victoria, she began to panic.Subconsciously, Sharon covered her face with her hands and ran away."Wait, don't run!"Victoria wanted to catch up with her. However, due to her injured leg and her unfamiliarity with the area, Victoria did not chase after her.She slowed down her footsteps and pushed away the grass on the side.Victoria had seen something fall out of the woman's pocket.Very quickly, Victoria found a photo.When she picked up the photo, she immediately recognized Ethan as the boy from the photo.Other than him, there was a young and beauti
Not long after they returned to their rooms, Silas called Ethan."Wendy and I have searched every place that could hide a person just as Victoria has ordered us to do. We did not see anyone from the Summers family. We've looked around for a long time."There was evidence that someone stayed there not too long ago. They must have been transported elsewhere within the past few days."When Wendy returned to her room, she found a piece of paper. On it was a message saying the people inside had already been transported away, but they did not say where."Ethan quickly told Victoria everything Silas had told him.He frowned. "Does anyone in Maplewood Village know about your real identity and purpose? Is it one of the Summers family's spies? They must have quite a high position in the organization."If they knew the Summers family members were being transported away, why don't they tell us where they are? Whose side are they on? Do you know what they look like?""I don't know. I've been
Yvette and Colette were arrested under concrete evidence, especially Colette.Once Colette's crimes were brought to court, she might face the death penalty.Yvette had helped a criminal escape for the sake of money. She also had charges for Yvonne's life. Even if she did not serve a life sentence, she would not be freed in such a short amount of time.Sienna was able to release her. She was undoubtedly a capable woman.But if Benjamin had been there … no, it would be hard for her to pull the whole thing off even if only Yves was there."Sienna is Ethan's fiancée. She must have gone to Youngville for Ethan. She doesn't get along with Mrs. B. She must have ulterior motives by spending so much effort to free Yvette."Yves was furious.Although he was easily confused, he wasn't really dumb.He knew how much Benjamin cared for Victoria.If something had happened to Victoria, Benjamin would have torn Horkville apart and rushed straight to Yrinas.His ability to stay put in the host
Victoria thought of the matters that kept her up last night even while she washed up.When she headed outside, she looked at Ethan. The corners of his lips were upturned."You should act normal. Don't you know that it's very scary when you suddenly laugh out loud?"He ignored her and said firmly, "Once Ashton sees us, he'll only think that I've successfully brought home a beauty. He wouldn't think much of it."She was speechless."I don't want people to speculate about me. Forget about it. Do as you please.""Ashton is suspicious by nature. He's submissive now and acts as if he's absolutely obedient to you. But he's probably never lowered his guard around us."The woman jumping off the building last night was his way of feeling us out. He'll definitely become more wary of us if we take action."Victoria had done nothing. Firstly, she thought that the woman and child viewed death as an escape. Another point was that she had been aware of Ashton's presence before he appeared.Th
After Ethan entered the lab, he put all the tools and ingredients he needed onto the table.Because the amount of samples needed this time was larger, he chose instruments that could hold a larger volume.Once he had chosen everything, he quickly entered work mode.Victoria was dressed in lab gear. She was seated at the side.Sharon's gaze constantly remained on him. It was as if her gaze was glued on to him and was thus immovable. Her gaze was too obvious.Ashton felt extremely anxious as he looked in from the window. He was afraid that Ethan would lose his temper. His one billion would be for nothing.Thankfully, everything went smoothly.Four hours later, Ethan took off his gas mask.His face was pale due to over four hours of intense work that required high concentration. He looked extremely tired. He was also sweaty and looked like he was about to collapse.Sharon was concerned. She rushed to the front to support him. Just as she touched him, he exploded.He pushed her h
